Sausage and Red Bean Stew

Hearty, delicious and quick. Yes, this does use several canned products and also gets a head start with prepared soup. But there are times, at least in my home, when speed and convenience must take precedence. This recipe originated from Honeysuckle White so, of course, it calls for Italian turkey sausage. I have made it with turkey sausage and with regular Italian sausage--it is good either way. Also, feel free to substitute beans according to preference or what is on hand. I often use cannellini beans rather than red kidney beans.

Made this the other night for she-who-must-be-obeyed. Used petite diced tomatoes cause I don't like the texture! Decided the next time I made it I would use bulk Italian sausage and add some more noodles (request of the Queen). Made it tonight with the bulk sausage and added some ziti that I cooked al dente and added later. Making it tonight for tomorrow so all the flavors can meld.

Outstanding!!! Really really easy to prepare and nicely zippy flavor! I found it was easier to cook the sausage in a skillet, then add it to the stockpot. A couple of changes I will make next time are that I will cut the sausage a bit smaller, and I will use the pettite diced tomatoes rather than the regular ones. I can't wait until tomorrow so I can eat it again after all the flavors have had time to mix and mingle! My husband also asked me to put that cornbread muffins make an excellent accompaniment. GREAT RECIPE!!!!!
